thank you governor. >> jennifer: you helped to file suit on behalf of the obama administration to take away that law that the state of ohio passed that removed the ability of people to vote early. now, opponents of the suit say that if the court finds on your behalf that there is no basis to differentiate voters based on military status that the whole law could be thrown out and everybody would lose early voting rights, including military personnel. is that a legitimate risk? >> let me be perfectly clear at the outset, governor. we brought this lawsuit in order to ensure all ohioans, including military, military families would have an opportunity to vote early the last weekend before the election. that's what this lawsuit asked the court to reinstate. the restriction that was put in place by this law took away the right for most ohioans to be able to access the poll on that last day. so the relief we're seeking in this lawsuit is to go back to the early vote law that ohio has had for the past three federal elections. in no way are we seeking to restrict access from military voters. >>
